Acknowledgments

Overall, thanks go to my teacher—the Holy Spirit. He made everything possible in this book that was not even remotely probable, restoring that which had been lost over millennia and revealing that which has been hidden or kept secret from before the foundation of the world was laid.

Introduction

I became a Christian in Rio Vista, California, through my pastor’s son, Glenn G. (full last name intentionally left incomplete). I’m forever thankful to him for being bold, having the courage through the prompting of the Holy Spirit to bring me to the saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of Man (I like this name best for Jesus). From that point forward, I’ve been seemingly drawn to Bible prophecy, like a moth to a hypnotizing evening flame, arduously studying and trying to understand what the Holy Spirit would have me learn. When I accepted Christ, I asked Christ of two things: First, that I live until the pretribulation rapture. Second, that He have me learn as much as possible regarding the end-times, specifically about the pretribulation rapture. He has been true to my prayerful requests to date. During the past roughly forty-five years of my life, I’ve read many books written by many acclaimed Christian authors such as author and evangelist Hal Lindsey; the late author and evangelist Tim LaHaye; the late Pastor Chuck Smith (my pastor at one time at Calvary Chapel, Costa Mesa, California, who married my wife and I); Pastor John Hagee (my pastor at one time at Cornerstone Church, San Antonio, Texas); and author and evangelist Perry Stone and author and Evangelist Dr. Jack Van Impe, just to name a few. I’ve an insatiable appetite for all things Bible prophecy, as Bible prophecy is one of the biblical reasons to believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is Lord and our Creator (2 Peter 1:19–21, Revelation 19:10). Bible prophecy also provides many details regarding the end-times—the time in which we now live today.

Then along came the Internet, or the World Wide Web, which has become a powerful tool for Bible research, viewing videos, and talking with other Christian brothers and sisters, concerning Bible prophecy and about the time in which we live today—the end-times. On the other side of the coin, the Internet or the World Wide Web is also a place of lies or deceit whether by word or by video. Therefore, always remember to test all things, according to biblical truths (1 John 4:3). Additionally, I do not represent any board of trustees, church, or organization; therefore, I’m able to move, as the Holy Spirit moves me without having to get approval (that may or may not come) from a board, church, or organization. As a result of all these factors, I offer to Christians what the Holy Spirit has revealed to me through reading, studying, and reaching out to my fellow Christian brothers and sisters. This also doesn’t mean I’ve ever been wrong, because I’ve been wrong. I don’t want to hear this false prophet nonsense for two reasons. The first reason is that I’m not a prophet but a watchman on the wall for the Lord Jesus Christ. Second, pastors, evangelists, messianic rabbis, and other Christian leaders in the church have been falsely espousing for decades that the pretribulation rapture has been imminent with no other prophecies needing to happen before Christ raptures His bride home. This is just not true; however, very soon it’ll be true. So are all of these men and women of God, evangelists, pastors, preachers, and messianic rabbis false prophets, as all of them have said for decades and decades that all we need is the last conversion and off we go? This imminence doctrine is such a lie based on ignorance. They are practicing doctrinal lawlessness. So don’t throw stones at me, as our leaders in the church today haven’t been wholly correct either, as they have ignorantly espoused false doctrine on a much grander scale than I’ve ever done.

The complete title of the book is Breadcrumbs! My Five-Year Holy Spirit-Led Journey to the Male Child. Declaring the Truth: Christ Knows All Things, Able to Answer All Questions, Even the Day and Hour of the Pretribulation Rapture of the Sleeping, Lukewarm, Wealthy Bride or Body of Christ. Come Quickly, Lord Jesus—Wow, It’s an Exciting Time to Be Alive! The complete title consists of three different parts. The first part of the title is Breadcrumbs! My Five-Year Holy Spirit-Led Journey to the Male Child. This part of the title of the book is a declaration that the Holy Spirit has been guiding me along a five-year journey, each lit step by each lit step, leading me on a path of rediscovery and discovery, restoring that which has been lost over millennia and revealing that which has remained hidden, that which has been kept secret from before the foundation of the world (Matthew 13:34–35), respectively. Some of the revelations of the Holy Spirit, or Rhema, are spelled out clearly in the scriptures; however, in these cases the Holy Spirit’s only providing emphasis. Then in other cases with regard to the Holy Spirit, providing the insight, or Rhema, the Holy Spirit’s literally restoring that which has been lost over millennia and revealing what has been hidden since before the foundation of the world. I call these Rhema or utterances of the Holy Spirit, breadcrumbs. I’m not that smart; however, I do have a certain tenacity in searching out the truth and integrating individual biblical truths taken from across many different biblical areas of expertise or study from among many different members of the bride or body of Christ. Many Christians study one specific area; I do not. I was always taught to look across the spectrum or areas of study as per my military experiences. Therefore, regarding the Bible, I always looked across many bodies of evidence encompassing many specific biblical areas of expertise or study that the Holy Spirit has specifically drawn me toward. Likewise, I look for answers from across the body of believers, to ultimately form a conclusion with regard to the soon pretribulation rapture of His bride or body of Christ, male Child, or church. Having said that, I take no credit for what’s in this book and give all the credit to the Holy Spirit, my Guide and Teacher. I say this, as what God has hidden, only God can reveal in His time. In that grain of thought, what the Holy Spirit has revealed to me is so fantastical that it’s even hard for me to not only understand but to believe. And yet there it is—the truth! Undeniably, the truth! It has been there all the time, at least partially anyway, hiding in plain sight. However, the Western mainstream traditional nondenominational Christian church has strayed from its lit path, in some respects, and yet the hour is late, as He has been seemingly delayed. While Christ is delayed, she sleeps and is resultingly lukewarm, being neither cold nor hot and wealthy, in need of nothing. It’s truly amazing how exciting these end-times are and soon will be, as we get ever closer to Jesus calling us, all Christ-professing, pretribulation-rapture-believing-expecting Christians home unto Himself.

The second part of the book’s title is Declaring the Truth: Christ Knows All Things, Able to Answer All Questions, Even the Day and Hour of the Pretribulation Rapture of the Sleeping, Lukewarm, Wealthy Bride or Body of Christ. Like a lone salmon swimming against mainstream Christianity, I solely stand as a watchman on the wall for Jesus Christ declaring His total omniscience and stating unequivocally without hesitation that Christ can answer all questions, regarding the pretribulation rapture, even knowing the day and hour of His coming for His body and/or bride. I do not just say this lightly but I declare it, being able to prove it. I say this even as mainstream Christianity has always said and continues to say that Christ is unable to answer the question as to the day and hour of His return for His Bride.¹ The pretribulation rapture is a monumental, rapturous event that I call the second greatest story ever told, when Christ calls His bride or body or church home unto Himself (1 Thessalonians 4:16–18). The pretribulation rapture occurs within the context of an ongoing, raging war (Genesis 3:15, Matthew 6:9–13) between God and Satan with God, setting the overarching rules of engagement (ROE) for the whole war for both sides. As part of this war, God sets the overall ROE for Satan. Once Satan is provided God’s ROE, Satan sets his own ROE for his forces within God’s ROE such that Satan, his fallen angels and demons do not violate God’s overall ROE for this raging, ongoing war. To do otherwise would mean death or imprisonment for Satan or the satanic party or parties concerned for those that would violate God’s ROE. For example, let’s say that God says that during this current Age of Grace, or Dispensational Church Age that Satan and Satan’s lessor-ranking demons (powers; spirits of the dead Nephilim) are the only principle actors in this celestial play vying for the souls of humanity that are allowed to be on Earth. These lessor-ranking powers or demons are allowed by God to live on the Earth. Satan’s higher-ranking demons, fallen angels, and rulers of darkness are not allowed to touch or live on the Earth, living in the Earth’s atmosphere upon the clouds (book of Enoch, chapter 15:10–12). As part of God’s overall wartime ROE, Satan’s fallen angels and higher-ranking demons or powers aren’t allowed any closer to the Earth than the Earth’s cloud layer, as that’s where they’re currently amassing (yes, keep reading). So if a fallen angel or a higher-ranking demon or power was to set foot on the Earth, that would be a violation of God’s overarching ROE, and imprisonment or severe punishment would most definitely ensue. One note here, God has also probably established an angelic hedge of protection around the Earth to prevent Satan’s forces from violating God’s ROE as Satan cannot be wholly trusted to adhere to God’s ROE. Before the pretribulation rapture, these ROEs have been set. After the pretribulation rapture, all bets are off, as God’s ROEs go away when God removes His hedge of protection from around the Earth. After the pretribulation rapture, Satan, his fallen angels, his high-ranking demons or powers will freely roam the skies and the face of the Earth, to do their best, to do their worst, as the Restrainer is now gone, having flown away into the clouds as prophesied. Today we must never forget, while in our cars, in our comfortable homes and our offices, listening to our Christian music, talking and playing with our Christian family and friends and reading our Bibles, that there is an ongoing, raging war between God and Satan. Thus, the lens we listen to our Christian radio stations, the lens that we look through when interacting with our family and friends and the lens we look through when studying God’s Word, not only has to be about love for humanity, but that this love is expressed amid a backdrop of an entity (Satan) who is trying to thwart God’s plan in saving Gentile and Jewish souls for Him. With regard to the bride being asleep, every church and messianic synagogue and its pastors, preachers and evangelists and messianic rabbis, respectively, other church leadership, and all congregants should ask themselves one very important question. If I believe in the immediate or imminent return of Christ (and this view is the dominant Western mainstream traditional nondenominational Christian church view), then why does Christ say that I (individual) am or we (corporate) are sleeping (Matthew 25:1–13)? Therefore, no matter how often a pastor, preacher, evangelist, or a messianic rabbi talks about how to stay awake, there will always be a maximum of over 95 percent that will always be asleep, as the Parable of the Ten Virgins is prophetic and must literally come to pass. I did not say that you were asleep; Christ said it. This is not symbolism, allegorical, or a metaphorical but literal. Additionally, Christ says that the church is lukewarm and wealthy in need of nothing (Revelation 3:16–17). When was the last time you heard a church leader preach a sermon, saying that their church or congregants are asleep, lukewarm and wealthy, in need of nothing? Very little to none! Every church thinks they’re either the exception to being asleep, lukewarm, and wealthy, in need of nothing or they stay away from Bible prophecy altogether. How tragic. It’s tragic, because the church or its congregants hardly ask their church leadership any questions anymore. God forbid, if you were to ask a question to the pastor while in church or you question a church tradition (i.e., immediate/imminent return of Christ) that’s based on lies instead of facts, as even Christ says He’s been delayed. From Christ’s perspective, could it be that there is more to staying awake than believing in the immediate or imminent rapturous return of Jesus Christ (pretribulation rapture) and the signs of the end-times in Matthew 24? I believe that the answer is an emphatic yes! I believe that for the church or any individual member of the body within the church to be awake, the church or individual church member must understand the context with regard to the times in which we live today, taking into account present day pretribulation rapture prophetic celestial or heavenly signposts in context with six thousand years of biblical and world history and astronomical history with the ultimate conclusion that the pretribulation rapture is very near, even at the door, but not imminent until such time that the last pretribulation rapture prophetic celestial or heavenly signpost is in the process of being fulfilled. The term not imminent means the pretribulation rapture cannot happen, as there are additional pretribulation rapture prophetic celestial or heavenly signposts that must yet be fulfilled before Christ can return and make the new mystic man (the male Child) complete. Therefore, imminent means there are no additional pretribulation rapture prophetic celestial or heavenly signposts that must be fulfilled as they have all been fulfilled, enabling Christ to bring His bride home, marrying up with His body. Additionally, to be awake, the church or individual church member must also understand why Christ is delayed. So why is Christ delayed?

The third part of the title of the book is Come Quickly, Lord Jesus Christ—Wow, It’s an Exciting Time to Be Alive! In my opinion, the most exciting time to be alive would have been back when Jesus walked on the Earth. What a time that would have been! To possibly have walked with Him in His footsteps, fished with Him, ate with Him, asked Him questions (if I dared!), and just enjoy time with Him. The next most exciting time to be alive would have been when Noah walked with God on the Earth, as Noah, his family, and his son’s wives and the animals that God chose to be in the ark were perfect in their generations, as all their familial genomes or DNA were pure, having not been adulterated by the Nephilim (Genesis 6:9). And how I would have liked to have helped Noah build the ark and take care of the animals. That would have been a dream come true for me, as I love God’s creation, the Earth’s flora and fauna. And then to see the flood come and uproot the ark from the surly gravitational bonds of Earth. The flood then cleansed the Earth from Satan’s attempt to entirely adulterate the human genome such that Christ’s pure human blood line or lineage would have been corrupted and interrupted, thereby negating Christ being able to be born from man (Adam and Eve), as prophesied via the virgin birth. Though Jesus has many names, I love Jesus’ name of Son of Man (Mark 10:45) the best, as it represents God’s victory over Satan in the context of the Noahic flood, God’s ongoing war between God and Satan with God defeating Satan in this particular battle: Satan’s tactical chess move was to entirely adulterate humanity’s genome or DNA such that Christ could not be born of a human being that is perfect in her generations—a virgin woman. God’s tactical chess move was the Noahic flood, cleansing the Earth (Genesis 7:11) of all Nephilim and genetically altered animals, ensuring Christ would be born of human genome that is perfect while also ensuring the Earth’s fauna was genetically pure as well.

Outside of these two time periods, today is the most exciting time to be alive. To me, today is the second greatest story ever told, as the bride or body of Christ, male Child, or church will soon meet the Bridegroom. For it’s this generation (Psalms 90:10) that will experience the pretribulation rapture, as this generation has seen the springtime blossoming of the fig tree when its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves you know that summer is near, as the Nation of Israel was reborn as a nation on May 14, 1948 (Matthew 24:32–34). Israel was reborn in May, in the spring. Spring is before/near to summer, as Israel’s rebirth is before/near to Christ’s rapturous return, and it’s this generation that links them (the rebirth of Israel and the pretribulation rapture) together.

Imagine meeting Jesus Christ face-to-face without ever having to experience the sting of death. Imagine being violently and swiftly snatched up or caught up and carried away into the clouds and then into the air to meet our Creator, the KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS, Jesus Christ, our Bridegroom, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye (1 Thessalonians 4:16–18). This is our blessed hope, the glorious appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ (Titus 2:13) before the seven-year tribulation, not during or after this time period, whereby God lifts His hedge of protection from around the Earth while pouring out His wrath on an unrepentant sea of humanity.

Both Christians and non-Christians alike who are seeking to understand the exciting time in which we live today must use the Bible as the firm foundation (Matthew 7:24–27) from which one must strike out from, as if adventurers on an adventure of a lifetime, trying to further understand what the Bible says, as the Bible is the infallible Word of God. The Bible is in and of itself the Lord Jesus Christ. Having said that, there are many Bible interpretations or translations today that aren’t infallible, as humanity and its component part known as the Bible translators are fallible. Therefore, the earlier a Bible translation is, the more likely that that translation is more correct. Additionally, as Christians, we try and learn what the Holy Spirit would have us learn and discern, as the Holy Spirit’s the spirit of knowledge, wisdom, and understanding (Isaiah 11:2). While holding on to the Bible or Jesus, as our rock and/or our firm foundation (Matthew 7:24–27), we must also delve into secular world history in context with biblical history for a greater, richer, deeper understanding of the Bible. Therefore, I’ll touch on what a few of the extrabiblical sources have to say in certain subject areas. The extrabiblical sources that I’ll use are Antiquities of the Jews written by Flavius Josephus (Romano-Jewish Historian who lived in the first century), the ancient Jewish manuscript of the Kolbrin Bible, and the ancient Jewish manuscript known as The Book of Enoch. As long as these manuscripts do not conflict with the Bible, they can be used to provide great assistance in providing rich details that God has left out of His Word. By including information from these extrabiblical historical texts, the Bible will become even more alive, causing one to want to delve even deeper into the Bible and its mysteries, as in doing so, the reader will realize that the Bible is in fact divinely inspired, as it contains prophetic puzzles within puzzles within puzzles that continue to be revealed and come to fruition, as foretold by the prophets and Christ Himself, being one-hundred-percent true all of the time. Having said that, if the Bible is in disagreement with world history, the Bible is the overriding document, as it’s the Word of God with its content being divinely inspired by the Holy Spirit and the Lord Jesus Christ Who is the Spirit of Prophecy, as the Bible’s prophecies are always one-hundred-percent accurate, coming true in the fullness of their times, as Christ Who is the Word of God that became flesh cannot lie.

No doubt, this is an exciting time to be alive, as the universe moves ever closer to a most exciting point in time in world history—the divinely appointed time on God’s divine calendar of the eagerly awaited blessed hope—the pretribulation rapture. So what’s the pretribulation rapture? Whoa, wait a minute! Before superficially delving into that hot-button topic (at least to some), I wanted to first provide a few of the corporate names for who is to be raptured—corporately, meaning collectively; together, as a single entity. What are the names of the people who are corporately raptured? A good biblical representation of the corporate names as to who are to be raptured are male Child (Revelation 12:5), firstborn son (Exodus 4:22), bride of Christ (Joel 2:16), body of Christ (Romans 12:5), the dove (Song of Solomon 2:14), a pearl (Matthew 13:45–46), her children (Isaiah 66:7–9), My people (Hosea 4:6), and the obligatory well-known church (Ephesians 5:25–32). As it will be too cumbersome to list each of the corporate names for who’s raptured every time that I discuss the pretribulation rapture, I’ll only use the corporate name for who’s raptured that best fits with the context, regarding what I’m talking about at that given point and time. Please see the graphic titled Corporate Names for Who’s Raptured Initial Key Supporting Verses, which pictorially summarizes a good biblical representation of the corporate names for those who are raptured along with each corporate name’s initial biblical reference.

Corporate Names for Who’s Raptured Initial Key Supporting Verses

Additionally, I wanted to say a few words about the current church age, the Laodicean Church age, or the age of the lukewarm church. The dominant characteristic of this church is that it’s neither cold nor hot, that it’s asleep and that it thinks of itself, as wealthy, and have need of nothing. Christ exhorts this church, wishing that it was neither cold nor hot. However, as it’s not, Christ has said He would vomit this church from out of His mouth (Revelation 3:15–16). Christ even says Amen (Revelation 3:14) in that He believes the literalness of His Word. However, today the church of today doesn’t, believing in allegories, metaphors, vignettes, and history lessons vice believing in the literalness of the Word of God. I am not saying there are no allegories, metaphors, vignettes, or history lessons in the Bible; however, the Bible needs to be correctly interpreted. Of the many needs of the church today, the church’s greatest need is to believe in the literalness of the Word of God. Christ is the faithful and true witness and only pretribulation-rapture-believing-expecting Christians who are overcomers through His blood, being faithful and true witnesses to Christ and one with His purpose are part of His family. While Christ provides commendations or positive characteristics for the other six churches, Christ is silent with regard to any commendation of this end-time Laodicean Church. This is because this end-times church is predominantly going through the motions, having no fervor or passion for Him. The music, the sermons, the Bible studies, and the community outreach have become mere recipes of bland entrées and desserts of a sleeping, lukewarm, self-declared wealthy, in need of nothing bride or body. This end-times church is predominantly saying, ‘I’m rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked (Revelation 3:17). This is highlighted by the wealthy mega churches of today that rely on its buildings and organizations. The larger and more ostentatious, the greater the church is perceived to be. Don’t get me wrong; there is nothing wrong with having a clean, well-organized, and nice-looking church to meet in. However, the problem is when the emphasis of the church leadership is on the church buildings themselves and the continual building of bigger, bigger, and bigger and better and more showy buildings and churches, siphoning off of ministerial funds that could be better used for outreach to orphans and widows/widowers. How much is enough…how much is enough? There are even some pastors and evangelists (revivalists too) that even ask for more money from congregations when going out on the road for conferences or speeches. Whatever happened to just doing the work for God and not padding your bottom line in the process. If you are invited to a conference or speech, there is nothing wrong with the inviter paying for transportation, lodging, and possibly even per diem for food to cover the pastor’s or evangelist’s costs to attend the conference, but the pastor or evangelist should not leave the conference with more money than he/she arrived. Besides, whatever biblical insights or knowledge that a pastor, preacher, or evangelist has about the Bible is not about what they have discovered but rather what the Holy Spirit has revealed. Yet pastors, preachers and evangelists want to continually profit from what God has freely given to them. Pastors, preachers, and evangelists also preach to their congregations about carnal Christians,² trying to divide the body of Christ, as these pastors and evangelists do not fully understand the Parable of the Ten Virgins. God knows who His children are. Just tell the people that they just need to evaluate their lives, knowing that they will meet Christ one day; therefore, some necessary introspection is necessary with possible course corrections in everyone’s life, including the pastor’s, preacher’s, or evangelist’s.

Furthermore, it’s said that the pretribulation rapture can only be understood when the congregation of God sees the prophecies coming to pass.³ Yet many of God’s prophecies are being stolen from Him with this book, restoring the meaning of the Parable of the Mustard Seed; the departing versus the falling away; the true conclusion to the lunar blood moon tetrad and the sun being darkened (three solar eclipses); the pale horse versus the green horse; no one knows the day or the hour; no one knows the day or the hour but the father only; and in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye. Furthermore, this book provides the Holy Spirit-led revealing and meaning of the great sign; the dragon standing before the woman who is ready to give birth to devour her child as soon as it was born; the great and enormous fiery red dragon; one third of the stars, falling from heaven to the Earth and the male Child and that which has been kept secret from before the foundation of the world—the Parables of the Ten Virgins, the Wise and Faithful Servants and Evil Servants, the Wheat and the Tares, the Wedding Feast, the Kingdom of God Is Like a Dragnet, the Fig Tree and the Leaven. These aren’t my interpretations of what they mean but the Holy Spirit’s, rendering of what they actually mean. If pastors, preachers, and evangelists really want a revival and an awakening, they should restore and reveal that which the Holy Spirit asks be restored and revealed in this book. Additionally, pastors, preachers, and evangelists must stop stealing God’s prophecies. If they were to do these things, there would be a small awakening or revival of the church, as a lot of these restorations and prophecies and parables that are being revealed are critical prophetical waypoints with regard to the soon pretribulation rapture of the bride or body of Christ or church. It’s said that God’s congregation will never know that the Lord is coming for them unless there are signs that proves that He is coming, unless there are evidences that prove that he is coming.⁴ Then why does the church leadership continue to steal His prophecies from His Word, taking away the many prophetical waypoints, time markers or signs (as per above) that show He is about to return? It’s said that God’s blessing is set aside by the Lord for those who discipline themselves totally to follow the Lord and are faithful to Him and are going to come out as overcomers.⁵ The pretribulation rapture is the event for those that are faithful to God to do the word of the Lord, serve the Lord, pay the price to serve Him and are overcomers.⁶ Yet again, what does Christ say about the Laodicean church of today: that it’s neither cold nor hot, resulting in Christ wanting to vomit this church out of His mouth and that the church is sleeping and lukewarm, which is a stinging rebuke when one considers that Christ exhorted the church to remain awake and watch, lest the church be found ashamedly naked. Therefore, there is no one that fits this discipline themselves totally. What does that even mean anyway, as we are all fallen beings who sin from the Christian that sins the most to the Christian that sins the least, with each of us doing our best to be more like Christ every day? These words about carnal Christians are used because the individual doesn’t understand the Parables of the Ten Virgins and the Wedding Feast; thus, this individual’s verbally flailing about in an attempt to make sense of these parables, parables of which the individual does not understand. This type of talk about carnal Christians even causes damage to the body, making some within the body even doubt their salvation, and it also divides the body of Christ from those who sin more versus those who sin the less, but guess what, we are all still sinning. Therefore, as I had previously thought, doubting my salvation (five foolish virgins do not make it to heaven), where is the cut line between those that go to heaven or the five wise virgins and those that don’t or the five foolish virgins? Again, this is what I had even thought—no longer—as the Holy Spirit provided the correct meaning of the Parable of the Ten Virgins. In any case, doesn’t God say that He will leave the ninety-nine to go get the one, even if the one is the most carnal Christian of all? For, He has chosen His children from before the foundation of the world. He knows who His children are. We are all overcomers through the blood of Christ for those that believe in Him and obey Him, expecting Christ at the right day and hour—a pretribulation rapture. Otherwise, we do not believe in Him as the evil spiritual tares profess. This is the only way that we, as overcomers, can be victorious, prevailing against the world, the flesh, and Satan. So stop trying to divide the body of Christ. It’s said that for Christians to be part of the pretribulation, you have to be watching and praying.⁷ I’m sorry, but the literal fact is, that less than 5 percent of the church will be awake, watching and praying when Christ returns (Matthew 25:1–13). It’s said that the rapture is secretive.⁸ While true, no Bible verse is ever offered by any televised pastor or evangelist to prove this point. However, Bible verses proving this point regarding a secret rapture are contained within this book. Additionally, it’s said that the pretribulation rapture is provided as an escape from God’s judgment of the seven-year tribulation.⁹ However, this is not supported by the biblical evidence. It’s said that the pretribulation rapture is so secretive and unannounced that it even surprises those who are raptured;¹⁰ however, the biblical evidence doesn’t support this assertion either. Having said all of this, the pretribulation rapture does surprise Satan, regarding some characteristics of the pretribulation rapture, as the darkness did not comprehend the Word so much (John 1:4). It’s said that the pretribulation rapture is not the event and that Christ’s coming in the clouds is the event, as the pretribulation rapture is what occurs at Christ’s coming.¹¹ However, this is not supported by the biblical evidence, as the pretribulation rapture is the event, rescuing the church from sure destruction from dangers falling from heaven to the Earth, saving her from it or out of it, not from the subsequent revealing of the Antichrist and the start of the seven-year tribulation. That’s the primary reason as to why Christ is secretly in the clouds, to save or rescue His bride. There’s no other reason for Christ to be there other than to save or rescue His bride or body, fulfilling Bible prophecy. It’s also said that the rapture is described as flinging something out with a quick toss, deliberately hurling something, and deliberately getting out of danger’s way.¹² These descriptive statements about the pretribulation rapture are indeed so true. However, Christ knows when the Antichrist will sign the peace treaty with the many. Or does He not know this either? So why is Christ quickly tossing, hurling us and getting us out of danger’s way as Satan is passed the peace treaty for his signature? The reason is because it has nothing to do with the start of the seven-year tribulation. Rather, the pretribulation rapture has everything to do with danger that is hurtling toward us, coming from above, from the heavens to the Earth. Finally, in this paragraph, it’s said, the first thing you have to understand anytime you are interpreting the Scripture is the Scripture in the context of what is being taught right before that verse and right after that verse. Because anytime you have a Scripture and you take it out of context it becomes a pretext and people try to form a doctrine off of one verse and take it out of the setting of which it was written.¹³ While predominantly true, this is not always true. For example, in Revelation 11, the chapter ends with the ark of God being seen in heaven in His temple. And there were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail (Revelation 11:19). However, the first two verses in Revelation 12, saying, Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars. Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth (Revelation 12:1–2) aren’t associated with or connected to the last verse in Revelation 11. Sometimes the Bible jumps around, regarding verses and even chapters. For example, the entire chapter 12 in the book of Revelation is not in order between Revelation, chapters 11 and 13. Revelation 12 should be torn out of the book of Revelation, and each of its verses should be sprinkled over the other chapters of the book of Revelation where they would logically and/or contextually fit with Revelation 12:5 and Revelation 4:1–2 being the anchor point, as these are sibling pretribulation rapture verses. Please see graphic titled Book of Revelation, Revelation 12 Timeline Versus the Timeline in The Other Chapters in The Book of Revelation, located in chapter 6, Pretribulation Rapture Signpost No. 2: The Great Sign."

Isaac Newton (AD 1642 to AD 1727) once said, About the time of the end, a body of men will be raised up who will turn their attention to the prophecies, and insist upon their literal interpretation, in the midst of much clamor and opposition.¹⁴ This prophetic word from Isaac Newton is so true in that I am declaring the literal interpretation of God’s Word, especially Revelation 12:1–5. I, as a watchman on the wall for the Lord Jesus Christ, am giving out a clarion call that the Bible is true down to the very last word or God is a liar and Satan wins. God protects the integrity of His Word as He knows what’s at stake, and we also should believe and declare the literal fulfillment of every word in His Word, understanding figurative, plain and colloquial and idiomatic languages used by the Holy Spirit to tell the biblical story of the Spirit of Prophecy (Christ). When telling the biblical story that the Holy Spirit has given me, I anticipate much clamor and opposition from Western mainstream traditional nondenominational Christian pastors, evangelists, preachers, and messianic rabbis due to their sacred cows or man-made, ignorant, lying traditions.¹⁵ These traditions are just that, traditions, the commandments of men that are not supported by biblical facts. The Bible warns us against trusting in these man-made traditions or commandments of men, saying, And in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men (Mark 7:7). And another verse says that man-made traditions nullify the Word of God with the Bible, saying, Making the word of God of no effect through your tradition which you have handed down… This book brings a disinfecting silvery light upon these many dark viral traditions of the Christian Church that are being incorrectly interpreted and espoused in the Western mainstream traditional nondenominational Christian church today. Some of the church’s man-made traditions or commandments of men that I will be discussing and exposing in this book are:

All believers go to heaven as long as they believe in and accept Christ

That Revelation 12 is a pictorial vignette or a Christ history lesson, allegory or metaphor

That the male Child in Revelation 12 is Christ

That the dragon in Revelation 12 is Herod

That the context surrounding the still small voice is the noise of the world

That the rapture is imminent; imminent meaning there are no other prophecies that need to happen before the return of the Lord Jesus Christ

Falling away, meaning apostasy of the church versus the departure or rapture

Christ is unaware of the day and hour of His return (pretribulation rapture)

Christ is unaware of the day and hour nor the angels but the Father only

The fourth horse incorrectly espoused as the pale horse

The impetus for the pretribulation rapture is the seven-year tribulation

Nation born in Isaiah 66:8 is Israel when it’s actually the Church being born

Wheat and tares are about the end of the millennium reign of Christ

Writing a book is one thing but going out among my fellow brethren and being given the time and attention for me to declare what the Holy Spirit has freely given to me is another thing. It’s another thing as I anticipate much clamor and opposition just as Isaac Newton said over five hundred years ago. God wishes to bless the Church by awakening its members as God gives a blessing to those that are awake when He returns. Many times, you can’t receive a blessing from God if you are bound by your tradition. You have your sacred cow. You have a certain way. It has to be done that way or else it is not of God. Guard yourself against man-made traditions. Be careful that you do not allow your traditions of your church or denomination to be exalted above the Word of God. That they don’t believe in the gifts. So, you don’t believe in the gifts.¹⁶

After being saved, I’ve always studied Bible prophecy and believed in a pretribulation rapture. Nothing else made sense to me other than a pretribulation rapture such as a mid- or posttribulation rapture doctrine. Additionally, I’ve always believed that the terms of no man knows the day or hour and But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father were linguistic puzzles that God had presented to us in His Word to solve, rather than something to be yielded to. That’s why God told us to Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who doesn’t need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth (2 Timothy 2:15). He has given us roughly two thousand years to solve this biblical puzzle, regarding the timing of the pretribulation rapture and discovering those things He has hidden in the Bible. Well, it’s time to solve a few of the remaining puzzles and declare the solutions for the world to see, not because I’m smart but because the Holy Spirit has provided me the Rhema, insights or breadcrumbs, leading me to my understanding! Regarding coming up with a solution for the pretribulation rapture puzzle, I couldn’t rely on the Western mainstream traditional nondenominational Christian church in general for any help, as they take these words of no man knows the day or hour and But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father literally. So the Western mainstream traditional nondenominational Christian church doesn’t even bother trying to figure out, if the timing of the pretribulation rapture can even be solved. Additionally, it’s hard to get a lot of help from the church anyway, as she is fast asleep (Matthew 25:1–13) as the majority of its members lack the situational awareness regarding their surroundings and the dangers that the Western mainstream traditional nondenominational Christian church is in. And yet the Western mainstream traditional nondenominational Christian church is in no danger at all, for our God neither slumbers nor sleeps. Having said that, God would like some participation from His church. However, the end-times bride or body of Christ or church is lukewarm, as she has lost her passion and fervor for her Lord, not moving forward or backward, up or down or sideways with regard to serving the Lord Jesus Christ. Don’t get me wrong—God is still in the business of doing His work and working miracles and the church is doing a work, but it’s dramatically muted. Beyond the descriptions of the prophetic end-times natural world and societal events such as an increase in earthquakes and lawlessness in Matthew 24, the Western mainstream traditional nondenominational Christian church truly doesn’t understand the times in which we are living today. We all know the pretribulation rapture will happen very soon. However, the Western mainstream traditional nondenominational Christian church lacks the necessary prophetic waypoint(s) to know exactly how soon, as to when the pretribulation rapture will occur, as the Western mainstream traditional nondenominational Christian church has diluted God’s Word, taking away His end-time prophecies, prophetic waypoints, or time markers necessary for the end-times church to maintain its fervor, regarding the Lord’s coming in the clouds (prepositioning of Christ in the clouds for the pretribulation rapture). Don’t get me wrong here, my God can do all things and return at any moment if He were to so choose. However, it appears, according to Bible prophecy, He’ll return only after all pre-pretribulation rapture prophecies have been fulfilled and while the last pretribulation rapture prophecy is in the process of being completed that He’ll call His bride or body of Christ home. Again, the Western mainstream traditional nondenominational Christian church lacks curiosity because it has worked very hard to back itself into a corner of historically asserting the literalness of no one knows the day or the hour and no one knows the day or the hour but the Father only. What the Western mainstream traditional nondenominational Christian church also lacks is recognizing that the Bible must be read sometimes with three different lenses: one lens that speaks to a figurative story-telling interpretation such as when Christ spoke through the use of parables; one lens that speaks to a literal every day plain-language interpretation such as when two people are speaking to each other without the use of storytelling and colloquialisms and idioms; and the last lens which is the hardest facet of language to learn and apply in conversational language, as it’s mostly acquired by immersing oneself in the language’s culture. I’m speaking of the use of colloquialisms and idioms and sometimes colloquial idioms. All three of these lenses must be used today, if one is to master a given language. This also applies to understanding the Bible as well. Using these three lenses, conducting thorough research, leading of the Holy Spirit and always looking to the Jew first, one can make great headway in understanding the Old and New Testaments.

Many different authors for at least two millennia have written millions of tomes with billions and billions of pages, regarding biblical history, the rapture, Bible prophecy, current and historical world events, and current and historical astronomical events. This book is quite different in that it’s a succinct way (considering the many topics) to attempt to bring all of these subjects into the prophetical light, connecting many of these dots, while also discussing the inexplicable biblical happenings; the great sign; the dragon that stands before the woman who is ready to give birth to devour her child as soon as it was born; the appearing of the great or enormous fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns and seven diadems on his heads; one-third of the stars being drawn from heaven to Earth; God’s feasts or festivals and the pretribulation rapture of the church. I hope after reading this book that you’ll have a greater appreciation of the Bible and that the Bible will become more alive to you as never before, as you read, study, and understand more and more as to what it says at the leading of the Holy Spirit. This is very important, as the Bible says in 2 Timothy 2:15, Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who doesn’t need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Furthermore, the Bible is in essence Jesus Himself (John 1:1), and by studying and reading what the Bible says, we get to know Jesus better each and every day when we sit down to study the Word. And isn’t that what this life is about, getting to know Jesus better every day, having a personal, ongoing, and proactive relationship with Jesus, our Creator, the King of kings and Lord of lords (Revelation 19:16)?

Without a doubt, this book is meant for those who believe in a pretribulation rapture, as prophecy is meant for believers, not nonbelievers, lest they believe. All biblical verse citations are from the New King James version of the Bible (NKJV) unless otherwise cited. This book presents the information from a wartime footing perspective in the war between Good and evil, between God and Satan, respectively. As a twenty-six-year military veteran, I believe that I bring a unique perspective that nonveterans simply do not have—a military warrior’s perspective in studying Bible prophecy or what I call warriophecy.

The pretribulation rapture is Christ’s feast-day redemptive, tactical chess move, that has overarching strategic consequences, in the war between God and Satan. And what’s going on in the heavens will be critical for when Christ returns in the air. Therefore, I must discuss the Dark Star, Dark Planet-X Solar System, and Planet-X. Hang on here! Don’t roll your eyes at what you’ve just read. Again, give me a chance to explain myself fully, as the Bible says, He who answers a matter before he hears it, it’s folly and shame to him (Proverbs 18:13). Therefore, let me fully discuss these concepts and ideas, then you decide as to whether or not I’m telling you the truth. I want you to test everything that I’ll reveal and/or discuss in this book. Then you judge for yourself whether what I’ve said rings true or not. Here we go! And I thank you in advance for taking the time to read this book, continuing on your life’s journey or your life’s poetic contribution to humanity, to understand past historical and current heavenly astronomical and world events and how they relate to today’s end-times Bible prophecy. If you’re a Christian, by reading this book and understanding its contents, as they relate to the Bible in general and Bible prophecy specifically, you’ll ultimately get to know our Lord Jesus Christ better, having a deeper, richer, ongoing relationship with Him. So let’s begin together and respectfully attack the scriptures, being aggressive in searching out the truth. Christ is at the door and knocking. Can you hear Him? Come Quickly, Lord Jesus—Wow, It’s an Exciting Time to Be Alive!

Chapter 1

A Watchman on the Wall

I’m a watchman on the wall for the Lord Jesus Christ and not a prophet, studying and trying to discern what the Holy Spirit would have me learn, searching out those things God has hidden from before the foundation of the world. The information that I discuss in this book is an educational tool to assist in waking the individual Christian from slumber while our Lord Jesus Christ continues to be seemingly temporarily delayed (Matthew 25:1–13). A delay that is soon coming to a very rapid, abrupt end. A warning to the reader. This book contains very little milk (Matthew 13:45–46) and so much meat that you may get tired of chewing. So what does the Bible say about being a watchman?

A watchman is obligated to warn or speak out (sound the shofar, so to speak) day or night on any matter of relevance to the church (Isaiah 62:6) to awaken individuals regarding events in the end-times in which we now live with regard to the pretribulation rapture of the church. A watchman is also obligated to speak out for self-preservation. The Bible states that when the watchman on the wall discovers an approaching danger(s) toward the church the watchman on the wall is obligated to speak (sound the shofar) to the church. If the watchman on the wall doesn’t speak out (sound the shofar) when required, then the watchman on the wall will be held accountable for any blood that is spilled. Specifically, the Bible states that the watchman on the wall has a military-style obligation or duty saying,

Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and say to them: ‘When I bring the sword upon a land, and the people of the land take a man from their territory and make him their watchman, when he sees the sword coming upon the land, if he blows the trumpet and warns the people, then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet and doesn’t take warning, if the sword comes and takes him away, his blood shall be on his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet but did not take warning; his blood shall be upon himself. But he who takes warning will save his life. But if the watchman sees the sword coming and doesn’t blow the trumpet, and the people aren’t warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I’ll require at the watchman’s hand.’ (Ezekiel 33:1–6)

Being a watchman on the wall for the Lord Jesus Christ is quite difficult, regardless of the time period that the watchman on the wall may be living. While the biblical plan of redemption or salvation is quite simple and easily understood (biblical milk) even by a child, the Bible in its totality, especially with regard to Bible prophecy, can be very difficult to understand, especially when trying to put all the puzzle pieces together, as the Bible in many respects is a prophetical puzzle within a puzzle within a puzzle. However, though the task may be difficult, Christ understood this difficulty, saying the following,

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of truth. (2 Timothy 2:15)

I believe Christ said this to encourage us to study, as there is much difficulty in doing so, as there are over six thousand years of secular and Jewish world history, the Jewish diaspora, today’s partial ingathering of the Jews, and many different Jewish and secular calendars with their many Jewish customs, traditions, and practices, some of which are accurate and some of which are inaccurate. Then there is the heavenly realm that the Bible asks us to pay attention to (signs in the sun, moon and stars [Luke 21:25]) in the end-times, as well with the Bible telling its believers to look up, as their redemption draweth nigh (Luke 21:28). As stated before, Christ knew that studying the Bible can be very difficult, and that’s why He encouraged us to do it. Additionally, beyond what Christ verbally said, the Bible recognizes that studying the Bible can be difficult, as the Bible states,

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even, as also I’m known. (1 Corinthians 13:12)

So though it may be difficult, the few watchman on the wall for the Lord Jesus Christ that are awake must try to warn those who sleep. With regard to me and my testimony, I sound my shofar, or trumpet, with regard to what I see with regard to a convergence of many prophetic events, leading to the pretribulation rapture of the bride or body of Christ or church. Give me a chance here. This is only the start of the book. Keep reading, and test for yourself everything that I’ll discuss in the book, as I believe there is sufficient evidence to support whatever conclusions that I provide. Finally, give me a chance to explain myself fully, as the Bible says,

He who answers a matter before he hears it, it’s folly and shame to him. (Proverbs 18:13)

So therefore listen carefully as to what I’m about to say. Just as Esther, Moses, and King David were each raised up for a specific time in which they lived, I believe I’ve also been raised up for such a time as this—the end-times—to restore and reveal the truth through the leading of the Holy Spirit to any pretribulation-rapture-believing-expecting Christian that has the eyes to see and the ears to hear regarding the truth. The truth being, restoring that which has been lost and to reveal what God has kept secret from before the foundation of the world. I like the way Jonathan Cahn put it in his pamphlet, titled "The Season To Fly," saying,

If you catch a migrating bird during the season of bird migration and put it in a cage, it will beat its breast against the bars of the cage and pace back and forth. But if you wait for the season of migration to end, you can open up the cage and it’s very likely that the bird won’t fly out. In fact, even if you toss some of these birds into the air, they won’t fly but will land limply on the ground. The call to migrate, the pull in its heart, is gone. So, too with us. Throughout our lives, the Spirit of God pulls on our hearts, at different times and in different ways, to repent, to rise to our call, to get it together, to do what we know He’s calling us to do. But the call of God comes in its season, and if you resist the call, your heart may lose the ability even to hear it. When the Spirit moves on your heart, when you’re convicted to act, don’t wait and don’t put it off until tomorrow. For your season to fly is now.¹⁷

For God says in His Word,

But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase. (Daniel 12:4)

Today humanity is running to and fro in our cars and aircraft and knowledge has definitely increased tremendously in the last fifty years. These truths are so well-known today I don’t even need to provide any cited attribution to them.

And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come. (Matthew 24:14)

So what I’m about to reveal to you will restore and reveal or unseal of some of this Book, the Bible, in the end-times, as the Gospel has reached all nations. What I’m about to reveal to you is quite sobering and, in some ways, so fantastical that the reader may even want to totally disregard, as a manipulated fantasy. But you do so at your own peril. While the pretribulation rapture is not imminent, Jesus’ coming for His bride or body of Christ or church is so very close as He is at the door knocking. Can you hear Him? So listen and see what God would have you hear and see with regard to what His Word says about the end-times. However, this truth is not written and foretold like our parents and grandfathers have believed, as our current and forefather pastors, preachers, and evangelists have been right on some things and wrong on so many other important prophetical things. For they now speak, as their pastors, preachers, and evangelists had led them, saying that Christ’s return is imminent. Though it wasn’t, but yet it’s so very near now with only two pretribulation rapture prophetic celestial or heavenly signposts, needing yet to be fulfilled before Christ returns in the air for His bride or body of Christ or church. While these last two pretribulation prophecies are fearful, don’t fear, for the Lord isn’t about fear, as …The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me (Hebrews 13:6)? So it’s that I write to you that you be well-informed of what has been going on and what is currently going on and what will soon take place in the heavens above the heads of an unsuspecting humanity. To be well-informed means that you can circumspectly watch and know what’s going on and know what’ll soon transpire such that you can warn and comfort others when these omens in the skies appear. I can say these things, as Bible prophecy can be wholly trusted one-hundred-percent of the time. Therefore, I write, knowing the truth as written in God’s Word, having been revealed to me by the Holy Spirit. These events will soon come to pass.

As a watchman on the wall for the Lord Jesus Christ, I’m obligated to speak out when led to do so by the Holy Spirit, as when the great sign appeared in 2017 and its possible significance to the bride and body of Christ, male Child, or church and the nonbelieving world at large. In speaking out with regard to my opinion, I’ll provide names of Christian leaders that I disagree with, regarding the interpretation of Bible passages, regarding Bible prophecy. Know this, I speak out of love to try and set the record straight with regard to what I perceive as the truth, as led by the Holy Spirit. This doesn’t mean that the other members within the body are wrong unless specifically stated. With regard to this book and the arguments made within, I mean no ill will within the bride or body of Christ, male Child or church, as we are all members of the same body. It’s only my intention to discuss my viewpoint in the free marketplace of ideas and to sharpen my countenance and the countenance of my friends and/or the other members within the bride or body of Christ, male Child, or church, just as iron sharpens iron (Proverbs 27:17). In ancient times in Israel, the watchmen were men that kept watch during the twelve evening hours from 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM, encompassing four watches from
